And it’s not just based on reputation either, they had him on loan and saw him train for 12 months. There’s something not right about it all, he’s only 29 too so it’s probably not a physical problem I still think there’s some goals in him somewhere TBF he didn't start many games last season , maybe that was down to pukki scoring for fun though . Jordans lack of form is difficult to understand on the basis we splashed out a fortune on him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think a derogatory fee would have been agreed. I suspect there's more to the whole saga than we'll ever hear. His comments about the dressing room alluded to problems, and I still don't know why his dad left sharpish the way he did. Then begs the question why he's become so fecking useless on the pitch. So you think he’s not giving us 100% ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it was more 50/50 A LOT knew he wasn't what we needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 17 minutes ago, Tudders said: You don’t just lose the unbelievable strikers instinct that Rhodes has. It’s not like as he’s got older he’s lost pace for example. He’s never relied on pace. Even 50 odd year old ex pro’s still know where the net is. I genuinely think it’s a mental health issue and it’s affected his confidence. If any of you have ever been affected by mental health it can drag you down. Just reading between the lines. Really hope he can rekindle his form, just concerns me that he won’t. Would be a huge shame. Seems a great bloke and i feel for him. I’ve wondered that myself tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 He’s had enough chances. It might happen for him somewhere else but it’s certainly not going to happen at Sheffield Wednesday. The sooner we can get this very expensive mistake off the wage bill the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Think his time is done with us, despite the hopes I had when we signed him, been a waste of money. Suspect we will try to move him on at the earliest opportunity, whether we can is another matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been nowhere near good enough long before we were stupid enough to sign him - it has nothing whatsoever to do with mental health Apart from mine that has suffered due to his signing!!!

If it’s not mental health what do you think it is? I'm still of the opinion that it’s mental health related. As Stoop referred to, DC had mentioned that a player was too scared to play. I can’t think of any other candidate?Rhodes refuses to take a penalty in the shootout vs Hudders citing confidence issues.There’s no way the JR of old would have refused to take a kick. Some people are naive as to what huge effect mental health issues can have on people. Even being a multi million pound footballer doesn’t protect you from it.

Blue and white Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'd love nothing more than for him to be given his chance, take it with both hands and shove it up the arses of 1 or 2 on here who literally go out of there way to incorporate a Jordan Rhodes bashing into the most random of threads. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty obvious when a player loses his edge completely like he has. Rhodes is also a player that needed to adapt his game. You look at Fletcher...32yrs old pushing 33. He looks stronger than ever. Fitter than ever. He's clearly added muscle mass. Contrast that with the physiques of Rhodes & Nuhiu that look as though they've never hit the gym. How could they possibly say they're giving 100% if they've not even worked on themselves physically? Edited November 5, 2019 by wilyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
